Build Identifier: 20100917-0705

When we copy a java file using copy/paste we choose a new name and JDT automatically update the classname and construcotrs to use the new name.

It would be convenient if JDT could also update the javadoc @author tags of the newly created class using the author configured in the preferences

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Copy/past an existing class having a @author tag defined
2.
3.

When you copy/paste a class, the author of the copied class is still the original author. We're not going to change this behind the scenes.
